Black Hole Sun

When I heard that these guys are working towards Armageddon, I thought the media had gone off on another wild tangent of ludicrousness. After reading this report about how CERN is using LHC to create the densest material in the universe (that's QGP, duh!) after black holes, I heard a distinctly ominous ring of truth.
Quark-Gluon Plasma is a kind of "soup" (seriously, it's called soup) of quarks and gluons which can exist only at unearthly pressure and temperatures, something like 4 trillion degrees Celsius. 4 trillion is more zeroes at the end of the string than I can count. I tried and I gave up. This is the kind of Fringe Science that caused Walter to mess up Walternate's universe...
Meanwhile, here's another Black Hole Sun by an awesome guitarist:

Anti-Bore rating: 3/5 Quarks
